☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume from Fantagraphics' EC Artists' Library collects the complete comic book work of artist Jack Kamen for EC Comics, including the title story "Kamen's Kalamity" and other tales from the 1950s. Known for his clean, illustrative style and often ironic twist endings, Kamen contributed to EC's horror, crime, and science-fiction titles like Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and Weird Science. The collection features restored comics, historical essays, and rare art, offering a comprehensive look at one of EC's distinctive artists.
"Kamen's Kalamity!" is a chilling, darkly comic tale from the EC Artists' Library, spotlighting the eerie, expressive art of Jack Kamen—here both penciling and inking—with lettering by Jim Wroten. Set in a gothic castle where a spoiled prince forces a village boy to take the blame for his misdeeds, the story builds a creeping dread around a Christmas Eve visit home, where a father’s plea to the king takes a horrifying turn. A 35.00 USD comic from 2024, it’s a standout in the collection for its unsettling tone and masterful visual storytelling.
